Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Life Science
- Environment & Ecology
- Expedition / Survival
- Nature Narrative / Field Discovery
- Mystery / Investigation
I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 places Chet in a creek while news of real Jersey Shore attacks turns every fin into a question about danger. Shark movement, habitat, public fear, and uncertain identification give the historical survival story its central mystery.
The science inside
- Animals & Zoology
- Oceans & Marine Life
Your child will meet:
- Sharks move through coastal habitats according to species, food, water conditions, and other environmental factors.
- A reported fin or attack does not by itself identify the shark species or explain its behavior.
- Rare attacks can strongly change public risk perception even when most shark encounters do not harm people.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
Based on true events! It's the summer of 1916 and the Jersey shore is being terrorized by a Great White shark. Can 10-year-old Chet and his friends survive a swim in the local creek?
Chet Roscow is finally feeling at home in Elm Hills, New Jersey. He has a job with his uncle Jerry at the local diner, three great friends, and the perfect summertime destination: cool, refreshing Matawan Creek.
But Chet's summer is interrupted by shocking news. A great white shark has been attacking swimmers along the Jersey shore, not far from Elm Hills. Everyone in town is talking about it. So when Chet sees something in the creek, he's sure it's his imagination. . . until he comes face-to-face with a bloodthirsty shark!
